Too NOISY for a good night's sleep
Check-in was cordial and welcoming. Check-out lady was ice cold and stern. She needs to learn to smile. Loud noise at night from Mexican travelers blasting off loud music. And again in the morning.

The property is nice and in a convenient location. Paying $45 a day for parking is very inconvenient. The room was decent. Not terrible but the bed was super hard and the pillows were flat and hard also. Which made for 2 sleepless nights. If you are going to stay here bring your own pillow. Aside from that staff was friendly and overall a good stay.

This is definitely a “low budget” place. It’ll get the job done of housing you for one night BUT expect there to be many flaws. Such as, stained sheets , dirty tub, stained towels loud exterior HVAC unit, older/slower elevators, etc. if you can look past these issues then this place is for you. Luckily, we only needed it for one night stay. The location is good since there’s many places to walk to in Little Italy. Their Glassdoor Restaurant was good too. Their bartender and manager were very nice and attentive. The restaurant itself was nice, the menu looked good and their drinks were good too. Overall, this place is okay to stay for one night if you can over look their flaws. I’d also say that this place is not worth it to pay more than $200 for one night stay—-Even then, that’s still kinda high for this hotel.

The location is great if you're an urbanist like myself. Right in the Little Italy district, there are tons of good restaurants nearby and a Farmers Market on Saturdays. The expensive high rises don't know what they're missing. The room was great, quiet, and just about everything any of the more expensive places had. I would stay here again, easily.
